MUSINGS & IT'S THE WEEKEND

Happy Friday to you. I have a busy weekend coming up, so I have to get myself ready for it. I have a massive headache, sore all over, poison ivy is driving me nuts, I am beginning to annoy myself with my whinning right now, and I want to sleep for days, but if I do, I will never forgive myself, so UP AND AT'EM, ADAM UP!!!!

My daughter is coming home for a long weekend YEAHHH I just adore this kid and I will have her until Monday....YEAH!!!!

My Johnny Boy......,John Juan......,Johnny Handsome is flying up from GEorgia for 2 days..........YEAHHHHHHHHH,....sorry for all that yelling. I am excited because I don't see him that often and I miss him.

There will be a welcome home party for him tonight at one of his friends' house. Most of the whole crew is supposed to come and I will be there even if I crawl there.

Do you have any old family recipe or old wives remedy to get rid of Poison Ivy? Although I have been told that it does not spread, I think this is spreading. Do you know, is it possible for the Ivy poison to be sit in your system for a day or two before breaking out? I was exposed on Monday or Tuesday, broke out, then yesterday it appears to me that I have more of it. Is this possible? or did I just not notice the first day?

Anyway, I hope you have a great day and find 100 reasons to smile.

During a robbery, one of the robbers mask slid down.
He looked at a man and asked. Did you see my face?
The man said yes! The robber shot him.
Then he asked a woman. Did you see my face?
She said no, but my husband over there did.

Morning D and Everyone. It certainly not nice here. The weather is awful.

D. I'm so happy for you. Having the family home for the weekend. I'm sure you are going to be very busy this weekend.

For the poison Ivy....I don't know, I can'r help you. I've never had it. I always thought you would put Calimine lotion on it.
Are you absolutely sure it's poison ivy? Where do you have it on your body?

Mornin dee.. and all.. here is a website i googled hope it might help ya hun.. also try hydrocortisone.. helps with itch..man that must be miserable.. sound like you have a nice weekend plannned.. how wonderful for you.. great joke.. that was too funny.. lol.. hubby and I are going to scrub or carpet they are yucky.. our excitement for the weekend.. but im glad hate dirt.. lol.. well here is that site hope it helps you sweet lady.. hugs to you..

Morning D and everyone!Wow another beautiful day here in Mn.!D,have a wonderful time with your kids!I knew a kid once and he got poison ivy all the time cuz he never wore shoes and he would put gasoline on it.I watched him do it.I would never do it but it took it away.Crazy!I thought it did spread if you scratched it?My son just had it,used hydrocortisone cream took a few weeks to go away.Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You might try oatmeal baths for the poison ivy. It should relief the itch quite a bit. Also benedryl should help you too. They actually have caladryl lotion.....a mix of calamine and benedryl.
Gonna be icky here today. It rained last night quite a bit. 89 degrees at 4 am with 65% humidity and supposed to get up to 104 today....cooler but ickier. Good old Aug. Stormy weather got me hurting all over

I have to go to town today. Gonna try to find something that looks good on ME for my god son's wedding on Sunday. Thank god for Avenue and Lane Bryant. lol Of course, then I may need to get some new shoes (no high heels for this gal though) and a pedicure too.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Enjoy your families....although you felt like strangling them a few days ago! Gentle cool hugs....

D, everyone has great stuff to share about the blasted itchy stuff. So, my advise is to wear a nice silk or light weight cotton number. Maybe an adorable black sleeveless with a contrasting silk wrap or scarf? Comfy sandals.

The sites advised against Rayon (and wool).

I'm so happy for you that your daughter is in and so is your John. It seems that you've been surrounded lately with bad stuff, so I'm so it's great to hear of your happiness returning. LOL, even if you have to have poison oak on top of it!

I wish you a wonderful weekend. I hope you have enough energy and little to no pain as you enjoy this time with your babes.

Nancy...sing the song Rain Rain go away...(add in what ever weather that is making it awful there) and click your heals 3 times while chanting this. Balance a glass of water under your chin and blink on alternating beats.....this should make the icky weather go away....and if not, it'll be amusing to watch LOL....Wait...scratch that..just come up to MN for the weekend. It's gonna be nice here.

Morning Trish &amp; Hey Tori....did you hear that the Irish festival is going on at Harriet Island this weekend?? LOL.

Basket...I hope you find a great outfit for the wedding! And enjoy the wedding hun!

I'll take on everyone's aches and pains for the weekend. Just go have a great time! LOL, I'll watch the pain's in the arses for you!

D,
So sorry to hear about the poison ivy still hanging around. I worked in my small garden last night and from brushing near things, my arms started to break out. No poison ivy in there, I'm just very allergic to nature ;( Anyway, I immedicately took 2 benadryl and it's gone this AM, yay!!! But for pesky rashes from sumac, oak or ivy that I can' get rid of on my own, I usually let my doc put me on a medrol dospak. Yeah, I hate those freakin steroids, but for 5 days or however long it it, its worth it to get rid of the rash. I hope you figure something that works for you!! Have a great weekend :o)
